This is a vintage Landers Improved Balance No. 2 spring scale, made in New York, USA. Constructed from solid brass and iron, this mechanical hanging scale features an embossed faceplate with a visible weight gauge measuring up to 50 pounds. The top features a sturdy circular ring for hanging, while the bottom includes a heavy-duty hook, ideal for weighing game, farm goods, or feed. It measures approximately 8.5 inches long (not including hook and ring). The piece shows expected signs of age and patina, giving it a great rustic look for display or light vintage use. Marked “Not legal for use in trade,” this was built for utility, not commerce—perfect for collectors, homesteaders, or anyone with a barn wall in need of character.
